Title: [SRU] package gconf2 3.2.6-3ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: dependency problems - leaving triggers unprocessed Status in gconf package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: [Impact] During system upgrades, triggers for gconf2 might activate too early, while some of its dependencies aren't configured yet. This happens several times in a loop and stops the upgrade in the end. The attached debdiffs fix this issue by changing interest to interest- noawait in debian/gconf2.triggers file. The triggers will now activate near the end of upgrade. In addition, the debdiff for Bionic also contains a fix for FTBFS (bug 1834211). [Test Case] Triggers for gconf2 are usually activated on changes in /usr/share/GConf/gsettings folder, so the main Ubuntu edition (with GNOME) is most suitable for reproducing the issue. To reproduce it, install that edition, apply all updates, then try upgrading to the next release. [Regression Potential] None, interest-noawait trigger is known to work well in other packages (comment 31). [Other Info] Even if Cosmic goes EOL next month, the fix for it might be worth it for release upgrades. [Original Description] When upgrading from 15.10 to 16.04Beta (2016-03-01), this error occured, alongside many others related to systemd and gnome. Notice that despite all warnings and errors, finally, the system remained functional.
